Bro, I think you can forget Greece Cyprus Ialy Spain etc etc, they are just pathetic ECB EEC dirty tactics, which euro has stunk of sinceits inception.

The EU rally from July 2012 was predominatly generated by BOJ Interventions, the rest is just stop go catalysts
Monthly EU Chart, cross reference with yen prs it is crystal clear, BOJ sidelines, euro takes a bashing, (also GBP)

Why is eu stuck here, couple reasons on chart others people have lots other reasons, 50 fib of present rally, breach of rising tl, mid ma,s 200 & 50, mid monthly...
I know got to be careful longer TFs still look down. I am trying to find pockets of pips either way. Saying it will go either way is a bit tongue in cheek, but I don't know how much of the Cyprus news is still shocking for a little retrace. Only gives a better area to short from lol.
When the facts change I change my mind, what do you do sir

Is it just me, or is trading so much more difficult now ? 3 years ago , as i said earlier, we could rely on making our analysis, and going with it...gradual long steady moves up or down, always movement though, now it is a case of zero movement really interrupted by extreme moves up or down. Yes it is a result of the current economic climate....but i yearn for the days of sensible predictability of where the market would move, and detest these days of stagnant volatility . It's either dead..or extreme...with anyone's guess as to how it will go. Used to be that you could trade 24/5 with a good degree of success and movement, now it is an hour or so after new york and London open...after that..dead for the remainder...about 2 good hours of movement a day...and not even sensible movement at that though !

And notice the members viewing at this time has reduced about 90% , we are in Asian session, and we all know , nothing happens during this session...the market is so absolutely messed up.. in truth...the euro with it's problems and uncertainty has messed up the entire global market...we all read about it, we watch it, it is failing...it is on the way out but being brought back to life as a dieing patient with little hope, prolonging the inevitable. The euro project has failed, that is evident to all but the politicians, the sooner that "dream" dies, the better.

Possible. Argintina banks were closed three weeks I believe with 26 months of capital controls. Cyprus' financial sector was 45% of GDP.

I am bearish on EUR. Will add short at around 1.2880 region which to me is a support turn resistance level now. 1.2880 is the 50% fibo from Jul 2012 to the recent run up in Feb 2013.

I think the problems brought on from the global recession and financial troubles from 2008 have put almost all countries into a worrying situation. They all seen the boom through from 2003 as the new norm and spent/planned very badly.

Troubles now trying to save several systems from collapse are slowly coming to ahead. What is interesting is the potential that the EU may use the Cyprus model moving forward and simply start brutally taking money and wealth from its citizens or those that invest in them. Its a worrying precedent that some day will likely be across the globe. What happens when governments cant afford to fund the police or basic services? Lawless nations will be left to self destruct.
In the USA it seems some of the super rich are planning for it already and as things gather pace slowly it will become clear for all to see.

Its not just the Euro project, its the human project. Men are greedy and will destroy themselves in a never ending quest for more.
Money never sleeps...

It wouldn't surprise me. And it wouldn't surprise me if it also went to 1.18 instead of 1.30.
